Astor XS XU7J4RS (For Sale £1000)

[Dan86]

I bought some xsi badges as I prefer the red over the chrome. I cut the 'i' off to make an xs badge with the slanted font.










I have fitted a Gti6 inlet manifold using the xu7 injectors and throttle body. An adapter plate had to be made to make the the throttle body fit. I used some aluminium plate as it's easy to cut/file.










I'm not happy with it.
I took it for a test drive and a couple of times it coughed at about 4500rpm, almost like a carb spits back. It has scared the s**t out of me as I thought it was something catastrophic.

There is also a hesitance at 5500rpm which was always there even before the mani change. I'm not sure what this problem may be; coil pack breaking down? It does it almost every time I try to take it to the red line but on occasion it will go to 6000rpm no problem and feels strong/smooth.

I think I will put it back to standard as I feel it is much safer for the engine.
